Allergy Friendly Cake
If you like a moist cake heavy on the chocolate flavor, you don’t need milk chocolate to get that. Check out your health food store and opt for chocolate chips that are dairy-free or made with tofu. They’re still perfectly sweetened with the right amount of chocolate flavor.
Better Than French Fries
If you love hot, crispy potatoes, you don’t have to load up on greasy french fries. Throw petite Yukon gold potatoes into a pot of boiling water and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. When they are easily pierced by a fork, transfer them to a colander and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Put them on a baking sheet and smash them slightly before drizzling them with olive oil and salt. Roast them at 350 degrees until they’re crispy and browned. Sprinkle with herbs and desired seasonings and you won’t even miss those fries!
Fluffy Pancakes
You don’t need to worry about your allergen-free pancakes tasting like sawdust. Substituting the eggs with things like pumpkin or applesauce give it plenty of moisture. You don’t need dairy milk either; coconut and almond milks are great alternatives. The texture will be denser and slightly chewier, but they’ll still be fluffy.
Frozen Dessert Bars
Are you longing for ice cream? This recipe will guarantee you won’t even need that hot fudge sundae again. For the crust, you’ll use chocolate rice crispy cereal, cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and brown rice syrup. For the filling, combine maple syrup, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, coconut whipped product, dairy-free chocolate chips, and sea salt. Place the filling ingredients into the blender, pour over the rice crispy crust, and freeze. If you’re following this recipe, omit the nuts and replace them with the coconut whipped topping.
Tomato Bruschetta
Italian dishes might typically be loaded with cheese, but you can alter a huge variety of Italian recipes to suit your dietary needs. Dairy free translates to “light and fresh”, so this whole situation can’t always be a bad thing, right? Especially in tomato season, hit up your local farmer’s market for freshly picked tomatoes and pungent basil for extra flavor. With strict food restrictions, you’ll soon realize freshness and quality of your ingredients is key to a delicious meal.
Your culinary life can still be rich with flavor and excitement even without dairy, nuts, or eggs. Just use some creativity, high quality ingredients, and lots of seasonings and you’ll have food everyone will want to sample.
